KANsAs CITY, Mo-, Jan. 13.-Tne south
bound passenger train on the Missouri
Pacific extension, which left Omaha last
night and was due here this morning, was
wrecked near DunbAr, NebrsAka, about
midnight. The wreck was caused by the
loosening of . rail, done by parties I'M
known. Several spikes and flshplAtes had
been removed and Sthe train coming along
ct rate Of thirty miles an hour, plunged
nf,een feet down an embankment and
landed in . snowdrift. James Dewitt OF
WyAndotte, Kansas, the engineer, was
caught under the boiler and killed. Frank
Hsnowits. the express messepger, whose
home Is 10 this city, was internally hurt
and may die. A lady whose name coulo
not be learned was badly hurt, but the
other passengers were not seriously in
iured, as lar as Is known here All were
shaken up, however, and moro or less
bruised. T Q entire Train left the track
and probably the loss OF life would have
been great except for the snOwbADk,
which broke the force Of the plunge. The
oniciAls here state that the wreck IL
the result of Q third ATTEMPT upon the lite
oe Dewitt, the engineer. They cay some
men engaged In the strike last spring
cherished q gvudge against Dewitt be
cause he was an active supporter of the
oompany during the great strike. They
assert that the wreck near Wyandotte for
which Hamilton has Just been tried Is the
result Of plot against d Wits life, but
his train wsa not the frat to pass over the
track ~ they expected. subsequently they
say, q second attempt was m sde and las
nights the third. Several Suspicion,
looking men Il Il said were seen lettering
about the station ct Dunbar last evening.

A Little Tots Cruel Remark.

Children are very sympathetic.
There's one quite young who's got an
aunt whom she loves very dearly, but
the child does not understand every
thing. The aunt is single. but she does
not hope to be SO long, although judg-
ing by the child's remarks the position
Of wife is likely to be very trying one.
The gentleman who is the object Of
fluttering interest has been in the habit
of making long and frequent calls.
These calls the child has studied with
some regard to the aunt she adores.
The last one the child assisted at ended
abruptly.
"Aunty," she said. sadly, (which
would you rather do, talk to Mr.. Jones
or go to funeral? ?''

ing the shaft in zinc, or tin or other
metal cylinder. The strings simply
prevent any noise from contact Of the
shaft with the metallic cylindrical
jacket. Should a woman get caught by

the jacket, which would instantly stop
its melton, leaving the shaft inside to
revolve, but without doing harm to

ENORMOUS FORTUNES.

wealthy Men In the United States. En-
gland and ON the Continent.
Free England and democratic Amer.
lea lead the rest of the world in very
rich men. The free play Of modern in
dustries and the absence of q paternal
government favor the growth Of enor
nous fortunes in the English-speaking
countries. Outside of the few Jewish
bankers, such as the Rothschilds, and
Herr Krupp, the great gun-maker, there
are very few millionaires on the conti-
nent of Europe. In Prussia, Herr
Krupp has an income of 5000, 600
marks, about 81, 250, 600 of our money,
on which he pays $S7, 900 tax to the
government. Next comes Baron Roths-
child Of Frankfort, with about $3.50. 900,
and Baron Bleichreder, whose income
is about $500, 1000. There are only two
other Prussians with an income over
$500, ,0O0 We beat the world in mil
lionaires. THIS is accounted for by the
TACT that on the continent the rail-
roads and telegraph are owned mainly
by the government, and the profits on
transportation accrue to the benefit OF
the National treasures. In the United
States the railroads and telegraph are
in private hands, and the manipulation
of their stocks, as well as the profits Of
the business, goes to pile up the enor-
nous fortunes Of our Jay Goulds. Van
aerbilts, Stanfords. Huntingtons, Sages.
not to mention the hundreds of others
who have become millionaires as the
result of manipulation in the stocks Of
corporations. It may be worthy OF
note, in passing. that wealthy real es-
tate owners, outside of the Astor family,
are not very common in this country.
Our laws provide for the breaking up
Of great estates upon the death of the
head of the house, and this puts a
check to accumulations of landed
wealth in few hands. But personal
property. in the form OF the ownership
of shares in corporations, can be better
kept together in this country, and il
will be noticed that in the wills Of Com
modore Vanderbilt and his son, Will
lam H., provision was made for con-
| centrating the wealth on one or two Of
| the heirs. The Astor estate in New
York has been held together, it is be-
lieved, by an evasion Of the law regu
